Having launched it’s AR/VR award in 2015, Lumen is excited to be partnering with a range of cultural and academic groups on this exploration of how to conserve and preserve these works.

Indeed, as Virtual and Augmented Reality become part of the artists’ toolkit, a growing number of museums and galleries are now tackling the issue of how to collect, preserve and curate Virtual Reality artworks, ensuring they have a life beyond the present. Vanishing Point: The Curation and Preservation of Virtual Reality is a one-day conference that brings together industry experts from the BBC, Tate, V&A and BFI to discuss the challenges of preserving new media and look towards possible solutions. Speakers will include keynotes from Tom Burton (BBC) and Solomon Rogers (Chair of BAFTA Immersive Entertainment) with panel discussions featuring Jesse de Vos of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and George Stanley of the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
